One of the consistent themes when military members read and comment on articles focused on the very controversial and unprecedented Jade Helm 15 exercises slated to take place between July and September in multiples states, with some listed as "hostile," where training is listed as "unconventional warfare," is the common refrain "come on, do you really think we would ever fire on Americans!!!"
This is said with quite a bit of understandable outrage, after all, our men and women in the armed forces join to protect Americans and their oath is to defend our constitutional from enemies foreign and domestic.
Let me be clear, I have no doubt they mean what they say and their outrage is real, but I would like to ask those very people to consider the following.
In the late 19th century "U.S Army doctors in the Philippines infected five prisoners with bubonic plague and induced beriberi in 29 prisoners; four of the test subjects died as a result.[12][13] In 1906, Professor Richard Strong of Harvard University intentionally infected 24 Filipino prisoners with cholera, which had somehow become contaminated with plague. He did this without the consent of the patients, and without informing them of what he was doing. All of the subjects became sick and 13 died.[13][14]

In the 1940s "The Stateville Penitentiary was the site of a controlled study of the effects of malaria on the prisoners of Stateville Penitentiary near Joliet, Illinois beginning in the 1940s. The study was conducted by the Department of Medicine at the University of Chicago in conjunction with the United States Army and the State Department. At the Nuremberg trials, Nazi doctors cited the precedent of the malaria experiments as part of their defense.[26][27] The study continued at Stateville Penitentiary for 29 years. In related studies from 1944 to 1946, Dr. Alf Alving, a professor at the University of Chicago Medical School, purposely infected psychiatric patients at the Illinois State Hospital with malaria, so that he could test experimental treatments on them.[28]

From 1963 to 1969 as part of Project Shipboard Hazard and Defense (SHAD), the U.S. Army performed tests which involved spraying several U.S. ships with various biological and chemical warfare agents, while thousands of U.S. military personnel were aboard the ships. The personnel were not notified of the tests, and were not given any protective clothing. Chemicals tested on the U.S. military personnel included the nerve gases VX and Sarin, toxic chemicals such as zinc cadmium sulfide and sulfur dioxide, and a variety of biological agents.[52]

Much information about these programs was classified and kept secret. In 1986 the United States House Committee on Energy and Commerce released a report entitled American Nuclear Guinea Pigs : Three Decades of Radiation Experiments on U.S. Citizens.

From April 10, 1945 to July 18, 1947, eighteen people were injected with plutonium as part of the Manhattan Project.[67] Doses administered ranged from 95 to 5,900nanocuries.[67]

From 1942 to 1944, the U.S. Chemical Warfare Service conducted experiments which exposed thousands of U.S. military personnel to mustard gas, in order to test the effectiveness of gas masks and protective clothing.[98][99][100][101]
From 1950 through 1953, the U.S. Army sprayed[citation needed] chemicals over six cities in the United States and Canada, in order to test dispersal patterns of chemical weapons. Army records stated that the chemicals which were sprayed on the city of Winnipeg, Canada, included zinc cadmium sulfide, which was not thought to be harmful.[102] A 1997 study by the US National Research Council found that it was sprayed at levels so low as not be harmful; it said that people were normally exposed to higher levels in urban environments.

In 1953, the CIA placed several of its interrogation and mind-control programs under the direction of a single program, known by the code name MKULTRA, after CIA director Allen Dulles complained about not having enough "human guinea pigs to try these extraordinary techniques".[124] The MKULTRA project was under the direct command of Dr. Sidney Gottlieb of the Technical Services Division.[124] The project received over $25 million, and involved hundreds of experiments on human subjects at eighty different institutions.
In a memo describing the purpose of one MKULTRA program subprogram, Richard Helms said:
We intend to investigate the development of a chemical material which causes a reversible, nontoxic aberrant mental state, the specific nature of which can be reasonably well predicted for each individual. This material could potentially aid in discrediting individuals, eliciting information, and implanting suggestions and other forms of mental control.
JADE HELM 15 MARTIAL LAW TRAINING AND REMOVING INHIBITIONS ABOUT FIRING ON AMERICANS
Now let us talk about Jade Helm 15 and the concerns of whether the U.S. government, using the U.S. Military is preparing for large scale martial law at some point in the furture.
Whether an event occurs within the time frame that the Jade Helm 15 exercises will be occurring or not, many believe the exercise alone is to prepare for martial law in America at some point, which would include disarming Americans, rounding up dissidents and "surgical strikes" and "extractions." Former military members have warned this massive exercise and others surrounding it are "unprecedented and dangerous."
Active military members say there is no way they would shoot at Americans, nor disarm them.
QUESTION: So where is the disconnect?
ANSWER: Those giving the orders vs those taking the orders.
So if the President of the United States of America gives the order to military superiors that these Americans are a domestic threat...... wouldn't those superiors then pass that order down during martial law so the military members on the ground would consider firing on those Americans as part of their oath and think they were protecting the innocent?
Many military members would still most likely balk at the idea of firing on Americans and while researching a prior article on ANP, I noticed that for the past few years the U.S. government, states, and the U.S. military have conducted "drills" that further remove whatever inhibitions active military members may have about shooting Americans.
ZOMBIE DRILLS
The Pentagon, FEMA, CDC, DHS, the U.S. military have all been conducting "zombie drills," claiming those drills make for a great way to conduct exercises which could apply to terror attacks or disaster training........ but in these drills, conducted on American soil, they are practicing at SHOOTING AMERICANS, dressed as "zombies."
BOTTOM LINE
I happen to believe our active military members that are particpating in Jade Helm 15 and other military exercises on U.S. soil when they say they have no intention of shooting on Americans nor to disarm them, but those same members better ask themselves if their brethren from times past ever believe our U.S. military would have conducted many of the documented experiments or taken the actions in the examples listed at the beginning of the article.
More importantly, they need to ask themselves exactly what they WILL DO if or when the order comes down from the top saying that "protect America" they need to disarm those citizens that have already been labeled as "threats" and "extremsists."
Below are clips of actual law enforcement, military and DHS training where Americans have been turned into "zombies," which many believe is just another example of how the government is psychologically removing inhibitions from those participating so they will not hestitate when ordered to fire.
